What a hoot--and I love Milne's quote! Seriously, I've been following PNG's site for a while and it's always enlightening. Nice to see what he looks like too...now if we only knew his name.... Kitty in VA

And I like this one:

"PNG descibed some of the clever techniques
used by the NER senders: "They usually start
out 'I really liked your essay about...' which is
usually a dead give-away, then finish by saying
'STOP SCARING EVERYONE! You guys are
all alike..."

Hardliner, When I hit the part about the remote control toilets, well,
just about lost it!

In the early 1980's I worked for an Information Broker with a few
major Japanese clients, among others. The amount of technical
information they "acquired" from the U.S. public domain sources was
awesome. And their focus on the minutia was equally so. When PNG
talks about how they scrutinize every last iota of information, hes
not kidding!

Japans toast isnt just burnt, its crumbled. But theyll study it,
over and over and over, so no mistakes will be made when they finally
attempt to fix it, soon.
